Wyvil offers you the honor of taking his daughter to the dining-room." Alban's face darkened ominously, as the elegant little clergyman gave his arm to Emily, and followed Mr. Wyvil and Francine out of the room. Cecilia looked at her silent and surly companion, and almost envied her lazy sister, dining under cover of a convenient headache in her own room.
How can you ask me to fly? Why have you come hither? You will destroy me." "Not so, sweet Amabel," replied Wyvil, ardently. "I would bear you from the reach of this horrible disease. I am come to save you, and will not stir without you." "What shall I do?" cried Amabel, distractedly. "But I am rightly punished for my disobedience and ingratitude to my dear father. Oh!
Greatly frightened and perplexed, Mrs. Bloundel rushed to the head of the stairs, to see whether there was any one below; and as she did so, Wyvil slipped into the room, and locked the door. The only object he beheld for he had eyes for nothing else was Amabel, who, seeing him, uttered a faint scream.
He wore his own hair, which was swart and woolly, like that of a negro; and had beard and moustaches to match. His hat was fiercely cocked; his gestures swaggering and insolent; and he was perpetually racking his brain to invent new and extra-ordinary oaths. "So soon returned!" cried Parravicin, as Wyvil appeared. "Accept my congratulations?" "And mine!" cried Pillichody.
He will be here again to-morrow, to ask for news of your health. Will you see him?" "I don't know yet I have other things to think of. Bring Miss Wyvil up here when she comes." "Am I to get the spare room ready for her?" "No. She is staying with her father at the London house." Emily made that reply almost with an air of relief.
Wyvil was delighted with the son of his old friend. Emily felt secretly proud of the good opinions which her admirer was gathering; and Francine saw with pleasure that he was asserting his claim to Emily's preference, in the way of all others which would be most likely to discourage his rival.
Wyvil for shortening his visit, and announced his intention of traveling to London by the next train. "We may renew our inquiries to some advantage," he added, after hearing what had happened in his absence, "if we can find out who was the last person who saw her, and spoke to her, before your daughter found her alone in the drawing-room. When I went out of the room, I left her with Miss de Sor."
Writing of the society in the neighborhood, he informed me of his introduction to Miss Wyvil, and of the invitation that he had received to meet her friend and schoolfellow at Monksmoor. I knew that Miss Emily possessed a Handbill describing personal peculiarities in Mr. Mirabel, not hidden under the changed appearance of his head and face.
The marshals then withdrew from the lists, and William de Wyvil, with a voice of thunder, pronounced the signal words "Laissez aller!"
The mention of Amabel's name, while it made Leonard's cheek burn, rekindled all his jealousy of Wyvil, and he tried to make some excuse to get away, but his companion would not hear of it. "I tell you there is no hurry," said the doctor; "all is going on as well as possible. I will make your excuses to your master."
